Thanks for the advice and input everyone. Yesterday and today I felt like I really couldn't swallow much, even sips of water caused some weird smasms in my esophagus - while not painful, still not too comfy, and I had trouble getting my liquids down. I called my surgeon today and he told me that the feeling is probably the swelling coupled with the little bit of fluid in my band. I had NO idea there was any fluid in there, but it feels like it's too full! Ah ha!!! Mystery solved! He said they put in 3cc's before inserting it and let what needs to come out come out for a "custom fit." He thinks it's a good fit but with swelling feels too full. Tomorrow, if not better, I'll go in and get a little taken out.

 

Soreness is definitely subsiding, my muscles are less achy. Gas has been much better today and just in time! Back to work for me tomorrow. With my desk job I'm going to have to remember to get up and move around more than usual. I know I'll feel better if I can get loosened up a little bit :)

 

Great luck everyone with your journeys, I hope if you had recent surgery you're feeling as great as I am. I hopped on the scale this morning and I am THIRTEEN pounds down from the day I started my pre-op liquid diet (three days prior to surgery!) That makes me feel great! Here we go!!! Happy days!!! :D
